On/off control of Amp/Oscillator using midi-player ?
Posted: Tue Nov 29, 2022 3:39 pm
Hello ,
I am constantly struggling to get a grip of the basics of Voltage Modular , including finding the right module if I want to do something (turning vague idea into actual layout takes knowledge of both Voltage Modular and modules for same !)
Today I once again were trying to use Cherry Audio MIDI File Player ( https://store.cherryaudio.com/modules/midi-file-player ) as basis of Midi input generation for 'playing' with Voltage Modular and more modules.
I need to keep it all really simple so I am starting off using only "MIDI File Player" , Midi to CV and an Oscillator to do the sound generation.
That's all fine , but I would like to get the Oscillator to shut up/off completely when I stop the Midi File Player so that I do not have to touch anything else than stop button on MIDI File Player to shut off sound. So I have tried adding the Envelope Generator and the Amplifier !
As I see it then maybe the problem is that the MIDI File Player do not have it's own Gate out or control On/Off out , I mean I don't know , I have tried using the Envelope generator + Amp taking gate from Midi to CV to Env Gen gate in like if Midi had come from external keyboard , but that doesn't really shut off the Oscillator/Amp sound , it would have done so if I had been using a keyboard for input via 'Midi from Host and take Gate from same source ! (It's possible that I am entirely misunderstanding the functionality of the Midi to CV gate but I do not see that as my issue here , and as far as I can seen there is no help either for neither the MIDI File Player : https://store.cherryaudio.com/modules/midi-file-player nor for the
Midi to CV either : https://store.cherryaudio.com/modules/midi-to-cv )
Could anybody please tell me what module to use to control/shut off Amp/Sound when I stop C.A. MIDI File Player ?
Or is there another player that has a gate / control signal to control Amp/other module off ?
